They asked me, How did you learn to sing the blues like that? How did you learn to sing that heavy? I just opened my mouth and that's what I sounded like. You can't make up something that you don't feel. I didn't make it up. I just opened my mouth and it existed.
Janis Joplin

Janis Joplin
Don't compromise your self, you're all you got.
Janis Joplin
I got treated very badly in Texas. They don't treat beatniks too good in Texas. Port Arthur people thought I was a beatnik, though they'd never seen one and neither had I.
Janis Joplin
I think I think too much. That's why I drink!
Janis Joplin
You know you've got it, if it makes you feel good.
Janis Joplin
To be true to myself, to be the person that was on the inside of me, and not play games. That's what I'm trying to do mostly in the whole world, is not bullshit myself and not bullshit anybody else.
Janis Joplin
As good as you've been to this world is as good as it's gonna be right back to you.
Janis Joplin
